I see what you mean!! 'opensesame' is now my password! This is rather
unintuitive, and doesn't sound like the best syntax for a command to me!
I've actually got it work using the syntax 'smbpasswd -r localhost -U $user'
in my script, which does the job.

Maybe the command syntax could be cleaned up a bit?
